I have deeply regretted that I did not proceed far enough at least to understand something of the great leading principles of mathematics, for men thus endowed seem to have an extra sense.

With savages, the weak in body or mind are soon eliminated. We civilized men, on the other hand, do our utmost to check the process of elimination. We build asylums for the imbecile, the maimed and the sick. Thus the weak members of civilized societies propagate their kind. No one who has attended to the breeding of domestic animals will doubt that this must be highly injurious to the race of man. Hardly anyone is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed.

People are racist about redheads in a way they'd never dare to be about black or Asian people.

Tries to think that I'm just doing my own thing, but every time I look back it always really makes sense in that time.

America is still mostly xenophobic and racist. That's the nature of America, I think.

Be proud of your people when you don't have to be ashamed of any of its social classes.
